"Damn it! Hayden is in danger!" Mike exclaimed. "Avery, wait for me in the car! I'll go look for him!"Mike quickly parked the car by the side of the road and pressed the emergency button before running toward the metro.The summer camp had allowed the participants to take a break, and the summer camp bus had dropped them off at a huge mall near the subway station. Hayden had bought a gift for his mother. While paying, he realized that someone was secretly watching him. He had exited the mall and made his way to the subway station. He saw that the man had done the same, and he was sure then that he was being followed.Avery could not bear to sit still in the car and wait. After Mike got out of the car, she got out of the car too and rushed toward the subway station. The bodyguard gripped her as he said, "Miss Tate, you must be careful. You are pregnant! If you go into labor, are you planning to have the child on the streets?"Initially, Avery had not felt anything, but at the r

"How are you going to deal with it?" Mike crossed his arms. "You shouldn't have blown up that web page. Since Nora knows about the dark web, it means that she must know a person linked to it or the organization behind it. We could have even found something." Hayden lowered his head remorsefully when he heard what Mike said. He had been frightened, and that had made him impulsive. Thinking about it now, he realized that he should not have done it. "Let me handle this." Mike patted Hayden on the head. "You finally have two days off. Rest well tonight. Stay with your mother tomorrow, and give me the computer. I'll try my best to restore the page."Hayden said, "Nora must be a bad person. Tell Mommy to stay away from her.""That woman's target is your father. She doesn't have much contact with your mother."Hayden did not care whether Elliot lived or died, so he did not say anything.The next day, after Avery got up, she made breakfast for Hayden.Hayden came out of his room. He

"Does anyone want to give it a try?" asked the staff member as he looked at the people around him. Many raised their hands. They wanted to give it a go.Avery wanted to raise her hand too, but she could not. Her entire body was so stiff that she found it impossible to move. It was almost as if someone had hexed her. She had almost forgotten about everything that had happened in Aryadelle. However, when she heard what the member of the staff had said, she fell under the assault of memories.She did not think that technology was so advanced that scientists could create a robot that mimicked human voice.Hence, Zoe could have heard an artificially generated voice when she had her eyes gouged out. A woman was invited up to the stage. She greeted the robot. "Hello, my name is Lily. I want to see if you can really mimic my voice."The robot was silent for a few seconds before saying, "Hello Lily, I'm trying hard to mimic your voice! Do you think I sound like you?"A burst of laughte

Elliot stopped. Avery quickly caught up to him. "When did you get here?" Avery looked at him. His face was blank and impassive. He looked away and said in an extremely low voice, "Yesterday.""What are you doing here?" asked Avery in a voice that was a few octaves higher. "Did you come alone?"She did not know why she stopped him, or why she was asking him all these questions.They had both been in an argument, and neither wanted to admit defeat. Despite seeing each other, they could have each gone their separate ways, but Avery could not control the thoughts coursing through her mind. "What if he came here specifically looking for me?" she thought."There's a speech at a school." Elliot swallowed. He could not help but look at her. "I studied here for a year in high school. I'm going there to give a speech this afternoon. Do you come?"Avery was a little disappointed. She did not hide it very well."I'm with Hayden today. I'm not free," Avery said and looked at Hayden.Hayd

There were only three of them in the huge room. The atmosphere was strangely quiet.The waiter left after serving the food.Elliot was thinking about what to say, and just as he was about to say something, Avery beat him to it. She had spoken because she did not want him to say anything that might upset Hayden."Hayden, didn't you say you were hungry? This restaurant is quite good. Have more food."Avery placed a huge pile of food on Hayden's plate.Hayden lowered his head and ate. He did not even look at Elliot.Elliot picked up a ladle and scooped some soup for Avery. "When are you planning to return to Aryadelle?"Avery did not want to talk to Elliot in front of Hayden because Hayden was extremely sensitive to Elliot. She was worried that the rift between father and son would worsen with a single misspoken sentence. "Let's eat!" Avery lowered her gaze and ate small mouthfuls of food.A moment later, Hayden was full. He placed his utensils down. "Mommy, I'm tired. I'll go h

"Why didn't you bring a bodyguard? Don't you know that you are a public figure?" Avery furrowed her brows. She was suddenly angry. "Did you think that there wouldn't be danger in Bridgedale? It is much safer in Aryadelle than it is in Bridgedale!"Elliot looked at her agitated face. Words got stuck in his throat."Avery, don't be angry. I made a last-minute decision to come here," explained Elliot. "At that time, there weren't any extra seats, so I came alone." "Couldn't you just have gotten on the next flight with your bodyguard?" Although Avery was complaining, she had calmed down. "You're staying at my place tonight.""Okay.""Did you deliberately tell me this?" The more she thought, the more suspicious she got. "Did you really not take your bodyguard along with you?""What about the trust we just talked about?" said Elliot pointedly. "If I wanted to stay at your place, I have a thousand ways of getting that done. The only thing I won't do is lie to you in order to gain your
Chapter 641
Shaun was sobbing on the phone, and Avery knew that she had to hurry back. Her mind went blank at the sudden turn of events. The core technology of Tate Industries had been stolen, and most pathetic of all was that they had no idea who had stolen it.With Mike and Avery both out of the country, the miscreant had taken the opportunity to steal the technology.The company's core technology was stored in a microchip behind layers of encryption. Hence, although the chip had been stolen, there was a high chance that the thief had yet to decode it. However, decoding it was an eventuality. The world was never short of incidents, just like Zoe's suicide. Another event that she had failed to predict.At seven in the morning, Hayden stepped out of his room and found the entire mansion drowning in silence. It did not sound like there was another soul in the mansion. He went over to Avery's room and noticed that the sheets were in a mess, but there was no one around."Mom!" Hayden shouted lo

Her secretary immediately helped her up while Shaun called an ambulance.Once Avery was taken to the hospital, the news of it spread like wildfire."It looks like Tate Industries is really in a crisis this time! Avery Tate was all high and mighty before but now she has to be carried away in an ambulance. How pathetic!""Isn't the baby she's carrying suffering the most? I heard that it's Elliot Foster's, is it true?""Who knows? Apart from the one she is carrying, she has two other kids… Those two are definitely not Elliot Foster's, or he would have fought for custody.""Avery sure has a chaotic personal life! All things aside, Tate Industries is doomed this time! With their core technology stolen, how could they continue selling their products at such a high price? She will soon lose her throne in the high-end market!""It's a good thing for the consumer, though.""But it's fatal damage to Avery! It's no wonder she passed out!"…When Wanda caught the news, she cheerfully open
